4 Counter-Strike 2 Teams Will Compete Under Alternate Names at PGL Major Singapore

BC.Game will use GOSH and 1win will become THE ONE with new logos, while BETBOOM and PARIVISION keep theirs and Imperial uses an earlier logo.

Four teams will compete under alternate names at the PGL Major Singapore because the companies behind BC.Game, 1win, BETBOOM and PARIVISION are not licensed to operate in Singapore. PGL’s branding changes cover four team names and five logos, and affected teams were also instructed to change their stickers.

BC.Game will appear as GOSH, a streaming and social platform, while 1win will use THE ONE. Both teams will have new logos. GOSH had not launched at the time of the announcement. BETBOOM will compete as BB Team and PARIVISION as PVISION, with both keeping their usual logos.

Imperial will keep its team name but use an earlier logo instead of its Gamdom-associated design. The team made the same logo change for the StarLadder Budapest 2025 Major.

The 32-team field was complete by Nov. 2. The tournament is scheduled to run from Nov. 24 through Dec. 13, with Stage 1 featuring 16 teams and beginning on Nov. 24.

Which alternate identity or logo change will take the most getting used to? Follow the final run-up to the Nov. 24 opener and the teams’ Singapore campaign on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.

Counter-Strike 2

Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Valve. Released in September 2023, it is the fifth main entry in the Counter-Strike series and serves as a direct replacement for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. Two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, compete in objective-based rounds across modes such as bomb defusal and hostage rescue. Built on the Source 2 engine, the game introduced volumetric smoke physics, revised weapon handling, and a new sub-tick server architecture. It inherited all cosmetic items from its predecessor and features both a map-specific Competitive mode and a numerically ranked Premier mode.
